Blending in rice or tofu is the key secret to taming doenjang's harsh saltiness while adding a smooth savory depth and thick consistency.
Because it contains rice, undercooking can cause it to spoil quickly, so be sure to boil it thoroughly until bubbles rise and the mixture is vigorously bubbling throughout.
Serve alongside grilled meat as a ssamjang substitute, or mix it into rice for an excellent rice-stealing side dish.
